The Kansas City Chiefs have toyed with the Pistol formation during offseason team activities, but that's not all. Reports out of practice suggest the team's pass-catching tight ends are in for a big year.

After a short hiatus called reality, Noles will be back in business shortly after these brief messages from the sponsors. OK, not really but the past three weeks have been one wild ride starting a new job on top of my MCM duties. I know I've been pretty intermittent about putting out articles lately so I'd like to apologize for that. The other (and arguably more talented) writers on this great site have done an awesome job in my stead. Anyway, onto today's post about the Titans' first third round pick, Blidi Wreh-Wilson. Player Name: Blidi Wreh-Wilson Position: Cornerback Height/Weight: 6'1 195 School/Class: Connecticut, Senior Measureables: 4.53 40, 14 bench reps, 36" vertical jump, 10'6" broad jump, 6.97 3 cone drill The Tape: 2012 vs Louisville 2012 vs Rutgers 2012 vs Temple 2011 vs Rutgers Pros: - A tall and long corner - Wreh-Wilson is a 6'0 corner that plays bigger than that. He also has some of the longer arms of any defensive back in the 2013 class. - Good short burst athlete - Has good, quick feet and hips to stay with the smaller and more explosive receivers. He uses his arm length well to catch up when in off man coverage. - Ideal zone corner - Wreh-Wilson is an extremely disciplined and technically sound zone corner. He uses his physical attributes to knock off receivers off the line and has good enough athleticism to stay with them down the field. Instincts are good when in zone/ Intelligence is also high as well. He simply knows what to do when beaten and rarely has a panicky moment. Cons: - Tackling - While he has proven to be an able and willing tackler, he occasionally takes the wrong angles and tries for the home run hit instead of using his length to wrap up. - Man coverage - Doesn't have a ton of quick twitch turn and run hip skills nor the recovery speed so he can be beat over the top vertically by some of the faster receivers. - UCONN - It isn't exactly a Division 1 powerhouse or a school that puts them on the schedule. How battle tested is he really when he plays in the rudderless and useless Big East? He might have the Boise State syndrome. (Boise State Syndrome: only having to get up for one game a year, usually the first game and coasting during the rest of the schedule due to the lack of quality competition.) Summary: I liked the Wreh-Wilson pick overall but his cons scare the living daylights out of me if not properly coached out of him. Another benefit of his is that he was coached by Paul Pasqualoni, a successful NFL defensive assistant for a number of years. He fits the zone heavy defensive scheme to a T. My prediction: I think he ends up in a camp battle with Coty Sensabaugh and Tommie Campbell for the third corner spot in a third place loser leaves town scenario. He might use this year being groomed to take over Alterraun Verner's starting spot should ATV leave in 2014. The rest of my reports: 7th round pick Daimion Stafford 6th round pick Khalid Wooten 5th round pick Lavar Edwards 4th round pick Brian Schwenke 3rd round pick Zaviar Gooden

The Rangers have a rare scheduled doubleheader on Monday in Arizona. This is actually a neat idea, and I'm a little surprised more teams don't do it on holidays...I remember several years ago when the Rangers weren't even scheduled to play on Memorial Day, and now they're going to play a pair. In any case, Yu Darvish has been set to start one of the games, but the starter of the second game had been up in the air. Last night, however, the Rangers announced that Martin Perez would be starting the other game. As we have discussed, the new CBA includes a provision that allows teams to add a 26th man for most doubleheaders. The 26th player has to be active for both games. The roster has to go back down to 25 the following day. So Martin Perez will be recalled to start on Monday, although it isn't a given the Rangers will use Perez as the 26th man. For example...the Rangers could, theoretically, add Martin Perez and send someone else -- say, Ross Wolf or Joe Ortiz -- to the minors. They could then bring Cory Burns up as the 26th man, since the player brought back as the 26th man isn't subject to the 10 day waiting period after being optioned to be recalled. Then, if the Rangers wanted to keep Burns up, they could send Wolf or Ortiz -- whichever wasn't originally sent down -- to the minors the next day, getting the roster back to 25. Perez has pitched four games in the minors this year, all in May, after missing time with a broken arm in spring training that likely cost him the opportunity to be in the Opening Day rotation for the Rangers. While his first three outings weren't great, Perez went 7 innings against Reno on May 21, striking out 7, giving up 3 hits, and allowing no runs or walks. That outing apparently earned him the start on Monday over Josh Lindblom and Ross Wolf.
